Prep Time: 25 minutes | Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 Tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp yellow curry powder
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes, pealed and cubed
  • 1.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1.5 cups coconut milk (light or full fat)
  • 1.5 cups coconut porter
  • 8 cups fresh spinach
  • 15.5 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Directions

  1. To make this coconut porter curry, heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook them for 2-4 minutes until they are soft.
  2. Next, add in the curry powder and sweet potatoes and give everything a good stir. Cook for 2 minutes and then add in the broth and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Turn the heat up to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once you reach a boil, bring to a simmer over low heat.
  3. Pour in the beer, cover, and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Once the potatoes are cooked, puree everything until very smooth with an immersion blender or regular blender (if using a regular blender, work in small batches and use a towel to cover the lid).
  4. Return the soup to the pot if you used a normal blender. Give the soup a taste and season one last time as needed. Stir in your spinach and chickpeas and serve! You can also freeze this soup and enjoy it at a later day for a quick meal.

Six-Pack Cinnamon Rolls

These cinnamon rolls are baked in half-pint, wide-mouth mason jars, creating a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or a fun way to add some character to a beer-tasting brunch. Several beer styles will work well to create a tender, sweet dough. The basic lager is a solid choice, but don’t be afraid to branch out to a brown ale or spiced beer. You’ll need a little patience with these rolls in two ways. First, the dough rests and rises in the refrigerator for 20 to 24 hours. Second, it is a sticky dough, so use generously floured hands and surface to work with it. It’s worth it in the end, I promise!
